- Опубліковано 10 лют 2025
- Helloooo! This update introduces a new way for NPCs to speak on their own, responding to events and guiding the player. There are also some miscellaneous improvements such as better monster AI and lighting.
Have a wonderful new year and we'll be back soon with more updates ^^

With every update Ingot grows stronger.
Soon, no mortal will be able to stop him.
theres a reason slitherss couldnt stop him from leaving....
With every ingot update grows stronger.
ingot boss moment?
Ingot will curbstomp Swirly D. and become Swirly Ingot. He is about to become god.
It crushes me that this game isn't more well-known than it currently is. It's the most creative, fun, juicy, soul-filled game I've seen in quite a while. Keep up the good work!
Yeah!
I would love Ingot to be an ally to the Student. They could be best buddies.
I think that Ingot's role could be the "Exposition Fairy".
He is the only Student besides our main character to NOT be dead; I think surviving Slithers could be considered a feat in of itself and he could have some awesome lore about Slithers, the Juice Queen, and Juice Galaxy itself.
Gameplay wise, he could be in the Student's "pocket" as a selectable "item". When he is out on the field, he can serve two roles; talk to him to discuss the area you're currently in and gain insight on the Monsters.
His secondary role could be as an ally who attacks enemies. Ingot has a current amount of Health before retreating back into the pocket to rest and by himself he isn't great BUT he can allow you to use his metallic body in a variety of ways.
(Such as use the levitating spell to launch him into enemies or simply pick him up and use him as a makeshift weapon.)
Naturally, he should be inedible, both for gameplay and story reasons.
I don't know if this idea is too crazy but I absolutely love Ingot and feel that he can make the Student's journey to defeat the Juice Queen alot less lonely.
(Edit: 8:08 I'm glad you have a similar idea!)
Haha yes, I think he'd be a great travel companion, and a great way to drop lore and context in the story!
I have been considering making him an item as you've suggested as well-- I'm not sure exactly how to go about it lore-wise though. Maybe there could be an item that summons him instead, which would enable him to have a life of his own ^^
I also really want to give him some new attacks, one where he heats up into a red hot rolling ball comes to mind.
@@Fishlicka would be funny if one of the times you summon him he's wearing strange clothes and it turns out he was in middle of a party and you ruined it
@@fruitsalad5036
That would be awesome!
@@Fishlicka pokemon! gotta catch em all!
@@Fishlicka I don't see how Ingot could be the kind of guy to drop lore and context in the story. I've always seen him as the "dumb guy who doesn't like being called a nerd and wants to be cool" kinda guy. In my opinion, he seems very unfit for this particular role, I could see how he'd drop some lore about Mrs. Slitherss and the Juice Queen (Atleast what Mrs. Slitherss has taught Ingot so far), maybe make fun of her and talk about how scary she is, but not as a general exposition guy. The old guy in that one house could probably best fit the "lore dropper" guy
Juice Galaxy is such an awesome game and coming back after all these updates just makes me love it more. I also love driving the car, it actually feels great to drift around.
Genuinely the best solo dev of all time. Not only is this a fantastic game but we can all tell you clearly care about it a lot. So many big companies today don't have what you have man. Can't wait to see what you do next! Merry Crimbo
Thanks! Lol, Merry Crimbo to you too!
@@Fishlicka im glad that you put in so much effort as a single developer and yet get so many high quality updates out so often
Glad to see you're still making updates to Juice Galaxy. This game is absolutely my most FAVORITE game, and will for a very very long time!
I love getting to see this game get made in real time. I've been following this game for a long time now, and as an aspiring game dev, I find the whole process quite inspiring!
man it's...weird seeing the graveyard again. I've been at monster level 500 and rising for 2 months now. Monsters less than 100x the size of me are not a common sight anymore. Seeing it once more...I feel homesick now.
Juice Galaxy has burst into my all-time favorite games after only a few hours of playing. Every interaction either has me cracking up or completely mesmerized, it's like a dream-game come true.
imagine if theres a big dramatic showdown between you and swirly D and ingot just flys in and 1 shots him
its fucking insane what one man can do with some dedication and a fanbase
been playing jg since it was a new game, loving these updates and i still play regularly!! thank you fish
YOOOO this is exactly the ingot love i was hoping for
having npcs as party members/combat allies would be *amazing*, re: your other comments on the idea. especially if they could have some kind of synergy with the physics spells hoo
hope the new year treats you all excellently 🍹
Oh sweet! I was a bit bummed not having the Queen's head bully me throughout the game, glad to know that's being implemented :)
I absolutely love this game, it has so much personality and the progress you are making is great. I get a big smile whenever a new devlog comes out and I'm so excited to see where the game goes.
Ingot's so friend shaped! I like the new gimmicks you add to your updates.
He is!
I love this little game. It's so fun I'm really looking forward to seeing where it goes!
love how the game keeps coming along. its insane its been almost three years and I imagine its different for you but through the discord and everything else its been amazing to see it come together!! happy new year fish
It would be absolutely bonkers if you add a modding community or the ability to SMOKE JUICE
I've been following this game since juice world. I love how creative this is
Just finished. Holy cow.
The enemy AI update is *impressive*, as is your resourceful integration of some of the code for that in order to have trees grow at their respective terrain's angle. So too is the reapplication of textures even in shadow.
I especially love the NPC chatter. One thing that's bothered me is how NPC's are oblivious to whatever goes on around them. The reactions you've shown in and of themselves are a good start already; I'd love it if you'd be open to giving them reactions to other things, like seeing you fight enemies in front of them, get into/out of a car, coughing up or sucking up objects, or if you're actually good enough to avoid vampirism until after beating Heck, to our getting sucked up and spat out by that Bat.
The Ingot changes impress. I like that you've made him tougher; I too found him much too easy to fight in the tutorial. I also like this new quest in development for him in terms of driving. For what it's worth, considering Juice Galaxy's open world nature, I say no sweat if you decide to make it just a side quest. Maybe it could be one of several that just give you a chance to pal around with Ingot, and after doing enough of those, then we can unlock the option to hire Ingot as an ally in our travels- which I like very strongly, by the way. I'm pleasantly surprised that you, the Juice Galaxy fan community, and filthy casual long-time out-of-the-game me are on the same boat that Ingot is one of the most likable characters in the whole game so far and it would be great for him- all NPC's actually, starting with him- to get a chance to be more important, and, well, _alive_ going forward.
This is actually really cool, I woulrd also like it if the wawsp queen head had random chatter in response to various actions the player does when you wear it, just because I like the idea of a sentient piece of equipment periodically making snide comments as you play.
Having Ingot as a party member would be rad as hell! I would love to see him react to the Creator, Slithers, etc. Great idea and great work as always!
Keep it up, Fishlicka!!! I've been watching you for years now, and I'm actually releasing my first game on steam on February 25th. You are an inspiration for solo/small team devs. Thanks for all the hard work, it's being put to good use!
Wow! Congrats and best of luck with your release, and thank you for the encouragement :)
Always a great day when Juice Galaxy gets a new dev log. Any chance we get a holiday themed update?
Naw, not this time. Santa Claws update 2023 though maybe ;)
I still love this game with every onunce of my being, never forget that Fishlicka
I love ingot he is too precious
The old man used to be an adventurer like you. something something pineapple to the knee :9
Juice Ro DAH!
I really wanna see like a multiplayer mode or so, this game just have that potential to be like that. Maybe a 2/4 player adventure
I just found this video on accident and I must say the game looks and sounds so fun and full of life.
Delightful as always! This is a nice update to a game that will always have a place in my heart.
Have you considered making a Patreon, discord, or kickstarter to get support and funds for JG? It would help you out, provide ideas, and be fun for everyone.
Thank you! I have a patreon under the name Fishlicka. I haven't added tier perks-- but you can read some of my notes there for free!
Had a discord for two years and it was amazing, but had to close it after it got too big to moderate with my limited resources. Kickstarter maybe. Good suggestions ^^
You should add a monster that is or interacts with the terrain, like imagine going far away from the graveyard until you find a blue zone with a flat surface, then suddenly a mountain grows out and says YOU SHOULD NOT BE HERE.
Having Ingot as an ally sounds great. Would be neat if he had some special attacks like turning his hand into a large hammer or spiky ball to hit enemies extra hard with.
I really like the "yo"s in their dialogue please add more "yo"s in future dialogue pleaseee, yo.
shit really changed so much last time I was on
Happy holidays, hope the new year is full of juice
This is shaping up to be a pretty kickin game
I love this game and am exited to see it grow!
Great job as always, Fishlicka. We are pleased.
powerful...
Yoooooooooooooo!, good end of the year to you too
3:38 ah yes, his pizza.
Fr tho seeing the progress this game has been making is amazing. Cannot wait for what's to come in the future!
Brain was tired haha
@@Fishlickaitd be funny if the super ripped guy in one of his dialogues accidentally calls his bat a pizza.
Ah yes my favorite RPG party, weird juice child, our all powerful god ingot, goofy fox man, and just a random old guy.
No way it's the real dollgram from the hit game epaco mijing!!!!!!!!!!!11111
love this game keep up the great work
hell yeaH
such a based update dawg
What a great update, small but wonderfully fun!
tiny ingot bouncing around on top of the car is hilarious
Hello. I have been away for what feels like over a year, so I bet I'm missed a lot.
The promises on the thumbnail grabbed me by the collarbone and pulled me right back in. If I read what I think I read, and if that's actually what's now in, I actually might start thinking about Juice Galaxy again.
ingot should be able to morph into an ingot and be stuffed into your inventory
thats pretty neat. continue the good work!
i wonder what the dactyl can do since its gonna breathe fire and hatch out of eggs plus its VERY fast while it hops
Es genial que los npc tengan personalidad espero este juego llegue muy lejos y es posible meter la actulizacion de la consola para poner cosas mas facilmente
O poder talar madera para hacer estructuras o herramientas como picos si es que añades minerales
Creo que esta el momento juice galaxy es uno de mis juegos favoritos tiene ese toque de raresa y locura gracias por hacer este juego :)
This is the game of all time.
OMG this went from test to update fast! what do you think the next update will be about?
Not sure yet, will think on it a couple days most likely!
Tal vez de la relaboración de la maestra
Poner la opción para poder subir a lingote a tu carro y las plataformas que hacen que el jugador reaccione a su movimiento y la consola
keep it up man this game rules
This gives me culty squad vibes
Top 5 in my list
I love ingot!
Can you design more different enemies in the next update,
yo imagine multiplayer it would be great
keep up the work!
i finally found you, the juice creator
we need a signy boss battle!
WOO
this game is great!
Ingot saying "I feel so cold..." when he dies is so jarring lmao
Cool feature! I like the new lighting changes as well, and the trees sitting crooked on hills looks pretty nice too!
Unrelated, but I have a question for you. I'm hoping to make my own game, and I'm a really un-motivated person, so I have to ask:
Is it worth it mentally to make a game? Is the reward of the finished product and the satisfaction of the players a good motivator?
Anyways ramble aside haha
Love what you're doing, keep it up!
Thanks! It doesn't take much motivation if you enjoy it-- it's cliche, but it truly is about the journey and not the destination. If you can't learn to enjoy the journey (and sometimes its a slog), then you will be at odds with yourself and it will be much harder to stick with it. At least that's how I think about it. Game dev (and real life) is a lot like a really good, deep game. Also, while the affirmations of appreciative players are very warm and encouraging, the motivation should come from within yourself ^^ best of luck with whatever you end up doing!
"The reward of a finished product": I wouldn't know haha.
@@Fishlicka Thanks man, I'll keep note of that!
poor poor ingot ....
will we ever get another seed change?? also great update!!! My friends got so happy when i told them about ingot riding with the player !!! Keep up the great work!!!
Hmm, maybe I should give players the option to select one. Thanks, I'll keep doin my best!
Multiplayer would very fun tbh
just thought about the possibility of random encounters
Could you add a map or marker system?
I want to be able to get back to the juice smith and such with ease.
Yes I've wanted to for a long time but simply haven't prioritized it yet! It would help new players a lot I imagine.
Would be pretty neat if you added dialogue for some of the enemies that spawn around too, now that you have this dialogue system.
very nice
Ingot Secret Boss when?
Hell yah
forgot to ask but can we get an estimated update for the dactyl bc i rlly want to have some sort of flying dragon thing
Unsure still.
Yes
what about a stagger meter? when you hit them hard enough with a high mass weapon / set them airborne they have a chance to ragdoll temporarily
I agree! I have that mechanic on the Creator but no one else currently, however future bosses will probably have it.
I love your game
idea: NPCs react if special items are in your hand?
Awesome game dude
good luck
heard some kind of hesitation at 5:24 WHAT IS IT WE DONT KNOW FISHLICKA
I was about to say DollAI, which is the name in the code for monsters' targeting systems. There is some more exciting info I am withholding for now, though ^^
You should give mrs slithers a basement that can only be found once you defeat her at the end of the game. Maybe something linked to SWIRLY D.?
Idk but time to go swirly some nerds~
Hmm so if you hurt them won't that cause trigger to make npc to fight back
Yet!
Question:are you going to add a new boss?
Yeah, probs more than just one!
Ok I wish you add a sliver organism with tentacles
What can you name it?
When are you gonna update the map? Cuz I wanna have a better map system then the 2 arrows that point to areas that mean nothing.
Unsure, but I agree that it would make the world a lot more navigable and explorable.
Wheres the offical discord
can you make a boss that you can only defeat on a car that would be cool and pretty different to the other bosses in the game so far.
I'm thinking about it yeah, I have a couple car-only events in mind.
Will there be a conaole port for juice plane- i mean juice world
Likely, it'll be a while though!
Whoever your voice guy is he is awesome love the bat voice. I know it’s a weird question but can I have his discord? I wanna know how he dose it / what mix he uses / if there was any effects added to the voice or it if it was just raw vampire batty goodness?
In short I love the bat voice and wanna know if it’s possible without any external effects
Lol it was just me after two pots of coffee, the audio is pitch shifted down to 70% and no other effects
unpitched version:
ua-cam.com/video/0t8CrwXkkqY/v-deo.html
So will we be able to customize our character more ? Such as a shop or give him a tail or stilt legs ?
Edit:
Plus having companion's would be epic, maybe ingot can be the first one, Mr. Fox after his quest ? Also is summoner or tamer going to be in the game ?
Good questions!
At the very least, I intend to start making new armor types (boots, chestplates, etc) so you can customize that way, but I think stilt legs might make the game too complicated x)
Yes, I hope to get AI allies in the game, but it might have to be limited in some way, since I don't want to program movement/pathfinding for Ingot to follow you everywhere haha. As someone who always plays summoner builds when he can though, I'm thinking about it a lot.
1:40 I’m sorry there’s a story?
You should make me THE FACE OF THE HOLY JUICE GALAXY and an INTRUSIVE THOUGHT PUMPING MACHINE!
I played the game 1 year ago, it took a hour to beat, I love the look of the newer polished updates and patches. This is my first time seeing the game again after beating it so I know little to nothing about the development. Will it come to Steam or Console?
Steam for sure, still unsure about console!
@@Fishlicka yeah, console is a push, a nice push
I would like ingot to stay on top of the car if possible. I know you said it wouldn't make sense storywise, but the world you created seems to have loose rules 😂
I said that, but what I meant to say was that I don't have the quest fully programmed yet. He'll definitely have his time on the sunroof ^^
will there be a coop in this game?
Maybe someday, it is lower priority than the story though.
bruh ingot is supposed to be a boss?
*tutorial boss
I know this is kind of off topic but have you ever heard of cruelty squad?
I have haha, it's pretty crazy! Haven't taken the time to get past the third level but maybe someday.
Love the game but I always finish it too fast what about a newgame+ mode would grind the help out of it anyway good luck god bless
Yeah I agree, thank you for reminding me!
@@Fishlicka tysm cant wait sounds very cool very swag i like it
If you're gonna make ingot able to level up you should make him a playable character as well perhaps even make him playable in a co-op mode not unlike dead space 3 co-op
Oooh making Ingot playable... Might be hard but it sounds awesome. I'll think about it!
